THE MONTGOMERY GUARD.
Recited with great success by Bob Melrose.
Gentlemen and 8oldicrs of the Montgomery Guards of Boston,
Mass-chutes, I have to thank ye for the many rondedons and
buggy-rides and dowedarcys thas I've received at your hands.
And, Gentlemen and Soldiers of the Montgomery Guards of
Boston, Mass-chutes, when ye come to New York City, the
Webster Guards of New York will turn out of their bunks, And
they'll gunanade ye, and they'll canuouade ye, as we used to do
at Balls Bluff. And, Gentlemen and Soldiers of the Montgomery
Guards of Boston, Mass-chutes, we'll take you to the Tarryater
at night, and after the Tarryater we shall take you to Sensible
Park, and from Sensible Park we will take you to the centenĀanial and there you shall have oysters on the half shell, the
whole shell, or any shell at all. And, Gentlemen and Soldiers
of the Montgomery Guards of Boston, Mass-chutes, all I have to
say is agus cin nah angus cin naba tha sha shin a nish a mecraw a
mecreeiski, And may ye ever be welcome, Gentlemen and Soldiers
of the Montgomery Guards of Boston, Mass-chutes.
Note.-This recitation should be recited in a stuttering voice.
